Phyno has addressed rumours that he has abandoned rapping, He said people shouldn’t call him a rapper - Instead, he wants to be referred to as a musician Many do not even remember that popular musician Phyno is a rapper seeing that he mostly sings in the songs he has been putting out. He has finally cleared the air on those who say he has abandoned his rapping roots. Speaking in a recent interview, he said he is more than a rapper. "Let me make this clear, when you say I am singing a lot lately, Yeah I blew up as a rapper – but before that, I was a producer for like 8-9 years. Don’t call me a rapper, call me a musician. I know music. That’s what most people don’t know,” he told Hip TV.

Nigerian singer Burna Boy, who is mostly viewed by music artistes as a really bad guy, has made to unveil the workability of his emotional side. But his recent display has made fans question whether it is really him or not.

Without waiting for fans to come up with a possible plague that’s keeping him away from the music scene, the “Yawa Dey” crooner shocked his social media followers by taking to his snapchat account to reveal how much pain and anger he has in his heart. But I can’t really place where the pain and anger are coming from because he’s always been cool.

Just recently, he took to his Twitter handle to share a provocative tweet that had it that he would gladly brutalize a clergyman who dared step in his way. Many singers came at him for such statement but he maintained his words. It’s assumed that Burna is about to beef all the clergymen he knows. But what exactly is his problem with clergymen

Anyway, Burna spoke of a therapy session he had and all that went down there. He said; “My therapist says I’ve got the best heart out of all her patients. I just have too much suppressed pain and anger. Now, I gotta see her twice a week.”

her and him problem or him and her problem or him and him problem or her and her problem, who cares

maybe but not definitely

Happily married Timi Dakolo kind of wondered what makes couples divorce each other after standing on an exalted altar to pledge love for each other for better or worse. But Daddy Freeze, Uti, and Toni Payne challenged his words.

Timi made an elaborate post about the rate at which marriages crash nowadays. According to him, divorced couples make it seem like it is normal to divorce. But Daddy Freeze had a lot to say to Timi in response.

The controversial OAP made reference to Pastor Chris Oyakilome who temporarily divorced his wife, saying it was an absolute necessity.

He added that he will forever remain thankful for the “gift of divorce,” as his life would have been a mess without it.

Uti followed suit to tag Timi a self-righteous and judgmental person, adding that he should shut the hell up until his praised sweet marriage is over 10 years old before he comes out to say trash like this. Timi didn’t respond to both guys.

But Timi replied Toni Payne who said that most divorcees didn’t plan to get divorced but only did so when things got rough beyond measure. However, Timi’s reply still stressed his initial point. You can visit Timi’s IG page for the full list.

Deliberation has broken out among music analysts regarding who better runs a record label between Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy, YBNL boss Olamide, and DMW boss Davido.

Analysts wish to determine who does it best, and your opinion goes a long way to point out who the real boss is. However, sentiments must be kept aside to judge fairly.

Don Jazzy has raised a good number of top artistes who have graced the music scene with sensational hits that got Nigerians jumping up and down. The likes of D’banj, Wande Coal, and Dr. Sid are Don Jazzy’s products.

Coming to the new generation singers, the names Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, Tiwa Savage and many more can’t be skipped.

For Olamide, we are all aware of his two-year policy which sees signed singers spending just two years in the label and compulsorily exiting the YBNL label to hustle on their own. Badoo doesn’t raise wimps. Take Lil Kesh for instance.

When it comes to Davido, it is known how he raised his cousins under a family label before proceeding to create his own DMW label which houses star singers like Dremo, Mayorkun, etc.

These three are great bosses. But who among them runs the affairs of a record label better? Don Jazzy, Olamide, or Davido?

The year might be coming to a close for most people but not comedienne Emmnuella who just signed a multi million naira endorsement deal. Thinking it was her big break, many fans rejoiced with her. It turns out, the star is only just starting as she recently landed a massive deal with Blueboat Fresh Yo yoghurt. According to reports, Emmanuella was signed on to the team as a brand ambassador, a deal said to be worth millions of naira, ultimately, making the young chap a millionaire.

Safe to say, with little quality education, bold Emmanuella has managed to become a child millionaire through comedy.

About four months after NAIJ.com sat down for an interview with reigning Miss Nigeria, Chioma Obiadi, the beauty queen has revealed how she has managed life since then. While speaking with Saturday Beats, Chioma revealed that the rule of beauty queens not being allowed to date or be in romantic relationships during their reign still applies to her. She revealed that it would honestly be hard for her to keep a relationship as she was currently overwhelmed with her queenly duties and school activities. She also said it was good as it helps one stay away from unnecessary scandals, revealing that she also has stalkers.

The comedian in an interview with The Sun disclosed that he and his wife do not check each others mobile phone. Gordons said that he has trained his wife to understand the line of work he is in and it demands that she trusts him completely as the nature of his job makes female fans approach him and other entertainers. He advised men to educate their wives.

In his words; “As an entertainer, you should educate your wife, I told my wife ‘don’t ever go to my phone because you would see what will break your heart. Just trust me because I do a job that is slippery, if I am not looking for them, they are looking for me. It is the nature of the job. ‘’Number two, ‘if my phone rings, give it to me, let me answer it. ‘’We don’t go through each other’s phones. It is a line that we don’t cross. I also educated my wife that ‘whenever you see my pictures on instagram, it is nothing; this is all to make sure that there is food on the table. The only time when you will get alarmed is if you hear I am getting married to someone else. ‘’When you see women hanging around you, it is a sign that you are doing well; women don’t hang around failure. Some of these women come to you because you are a star. But I don’t want anybody dampening my star, so I deal with them intelligently because they are fans. As an entertainer, we need fans’’.

Bukonla Awoyemi was just a fast rising actress till she got a role in Tunde Kelani’s hit movie Arugba 10 years ago which turned her into an instant star. The role also changed her name from Bukonla Awoyemi to Bukky Arugba.

But that is not the only thing she is known for, she is presently married to an equally prominent actor Damola Olatunji and their union generated a lot of noise when it became public knowledge. This is because Damola was married to another woman. It became a scandal that almost marred her acting career. The mother of a set of twins, the first fruits of her union with Damola, has opened up on her first scandal as an entertainer. She claimed that period was the most challenging of her life

She said

“People do not know the true story of an event but they just conclude and pass judgment. It was not easy for me back then because it was my most challenging moment in life. I am a very quiet person and it was a very gloomy period of my life but I thank God it is over. It was just the grace of God that kept me through that period and I would not want to comment further on that issue.” Being married to an actor, her husband of course is expected to be her best critic. Many men will be jealous of their wives playing romantic roles with another man in movies but the reverse is the case with Bukky and Damola Olatunji. She claimed he is always disappointed in her if she does not play romantic roles out well in movies. She also spoke about how she feels with him playing romantic roles which he often does.

“I am a professional so I don’t feel anyhow when I see him kiss another woman but as for me, I really don’t like doing things like that in a movie. But when I don’t do it well, my husband criticises me. He would tell me that I have to make it real. He would say that if I don’t do it well, it would not be real enough.

There is a popular quote that says “never look down on a man unless you are ready to pick him up.” This is the saying that a particular music producer failed to adhere to as far as two years back when he talked down Reekado Banks.

Like it is always said, to err is man and to forgive is divine. Whenever wrong is done, it is always advisable to forgive and forget. Forgiving could be a walkover in some cases. But forgetting has never been known to be an easy thing. It seems Reeky Banks is one of those who was wronged and is finding it hard to forget the wrong that was done to him.

The singer turned down accolades that came to him from a certain music producer who allegedly insulted him two years back when he was yet to gain great grounds on the music scene. The said producer made to shower praise on the singer for his great works so far. But Reekado rejected his praise and told him to knock off! Reeky’s words exactly were;

“Don't Praise Me, You Insulted Me Two Years Ago.” The wrong deed is said to have been done on Twitter. According to Reeky, the guy insulted him. However, he never stated what the insult was. We should always treat each other right.

DMW boss Davido has thrown a hard one on those who don’t like him and his music, as he announces that he is set to grossly disrespect all his haters in a new song. Apparently, the singer is taking an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

If you still remember, a certain girl reached out to the youngster via a direct message to tell him how much she hates him because of his “childish ways.” The girl seemed to have a problem with the way Davido gushes over his father’s wealth and made to tell him to refrain from such childish acts and rather gush over his own achievements as a man.

Davido, very unlike him, managed to give her a gentle response that saved well. But now, the singer is not taking such sh*ts anymore, as he is out to retaliate anyone who had shaded him or thrown a subtle jab at him at one point or the other. In his words; “I'm about to make the most disrespectful song, and don't be surprised if you hear your name in it.”

We have reason to believe that Davido will fire back at the likes of Patoranking and Yemi Alade who openly trash-talked his N30B in the account claim. It could also be directed at the NBC for banning his song. Let’s watch and see.

With indigenous rapper Phyno standing out as one of the celebs that are yet to join the baby daddy league, a female fan of his has reached out to him to beg him to refrain from following the multitude to become a baby daddy.

Just recently, singer Patoranking who had been greatly praised for not being involved in any controversies and having a baby mama, surprised fans with a picture of his pregnant girlfriend. Before this time next year, Patoranking will be a certified Baby daddy. Many fans extended their congratulations, but others expressed their disappointment at him.

That is something a particular female fan of Phyno does not want for the rapper. So she thought it wise to reach out to him and beg him to either zip up or keep from depositing his seed in any girl’s ovum. She wrote; “Please and please, do not join this trend. I’m on my knees. Marry properly and give her the belle biko.” Many reactions followed that plea.

Indeed, many fans are disappointed at Patoranking for impregnating a girl without marrying her. Now, all the attention have been shifted to Phyno and fans hope he won’t disappoint them like Pato did. Well, let’s watch and see.

Chocolate City boss and Punch Line rapper M.I has taken to Twitter to ask international rapper Rick Ross for a collabo on his new album which he tweeted some days back to tell fans was finished. Obviously, he seeks to go International.

However, the highly respected Nigerian rapper does not have a link with the rapper, which gave rise to the idea of soliciting for a collabo on Tweeter and asking his fans and followers to retweet until the post gets to Rick Ross. M.I obviously hopes that the Boss will collabo with him if the Tweet reaches him. But then again, that is not a certainty.

Like I said, the Nigerian rapper had earlier announced the completion of his next album. But it now seems like he is considering new additions to the album, even after his tweet chats with South African rapper Casper Nyovest which suggested that the duo might work together on a new song for the album. Now, he’s doing the same thing with Rick.

On Twitter, M.I wrote; “I speak you being on my album into existence. All my people RT this till Renzel agrees!!!” M.I has done his bid. It is now left for his fans to oblige to his plea. So, if you are a fan of M.I, hit twitter and do the needful.

Our Liverpool fans here in the Transfer Tavern certainly enjoyed their Bank Holiday weekend as matters both on and off the pitch took a seriously positive turn.

Indeed, things all got off to a good start as their 4-0 win over Arsenal took them to second in the Premier League table ahead of the international break and now attention is turning to transfers.

Indeed, the Reds have now signed Naby Keita for next year and the news that Thomas Lemar is a serious target has further excited the club’s fans.

Certainly, there still appears to be some negotiating to do before anything happens but things are being discussed right now as the club look to get the deal over the line before Deadline Day.

And, according to The Liverpool Echo, the Reds are perhaps going to see a £75 million plus player deal do the trick in signing the French international.

Indeed, the player in question is Divock Origi with him looking further down the pecking order at the club than he has been and a loan move – as is being touted – to Monaco could help him kick-start his career.

Landlord’s Verdict

Signing Lemar would be a huge statement from the Reds as they look to put a massively impressive squad together in these final few days.

He has all the hallmarks to fit into Jurgen Klopp’s playing style and Divock Origi moving on loan to Monaco would surely work, too, as he aims to try and get things going for himself.

The International Starboy and Naija’s Baba Nla Wizkid who’s been out of the country for a while now, has sampled his opinion on the happenings back at home, and it’s so sad that he isn’t impressed with the state of affairs in the country.

After Buhari’s absence from the country for over 90 days without being dethroned as the president of Nigeria as commanded by the constitution, Wizkid couldn’t help weeping for his country. As if that wasn’t enough, the president finally returned after 100 days. And without even spending up to 48 hours, he announced he’ll be living Nigeria again.

According to the President, he has to return to America for a further medical checkup. If he leaves again, he’s not likely to return until after another 100 days and Nigeria will be without a President for that long again without enthroning another leader whose physically fit to run the country’s affairs. Having put all these factors together, it didn’t add up.

The International Starboy is really disappointed in Nigeria because of all these and could only find one word with which to tag the government of the country (APC). According to him, the Nigerian government is a JOKE!!! Agreed

Friendship: The rules of "yabbing" A certain seemingly frustrated young man who doesn’t deem himself worthy of anything in the world has reached out to Paul Okoye of P-Square to, begging to be employed as his slave, as that would be a partway to his greatness.

The fan, who believes that P-Square has all it takes to lift him to greatness, made an effort to reach out to the singer. But it seems Paul Okoye wasn’t cool with the idea of making anyone his slave. Actually, no one becomes a master without being a servant. And no one attains greatness without passing through some little time of seeming slavery.

This is supposedly what this fan was asking for. But P-Square outrightly turned him down, saying he doesn’t need any slaves. The fan took to the comment are of one of P-Square’s post to tender his “application to be a slave.” He wrote:

“Sir, please, I’m ready to become your slave in order to attain greatness in my career. Sir, I’ll be loyal to you. God says we should be loyal and humble to elders.” In response, Rude Boy wrote; “And I’m not ready to be your master. Sorry, bro. I don’t need a slave.” Lol. Guys, please say something about this.

i will go for tiwa this time around

Faze Alone, who was arguably the most passionate member of the defunct music group “Plantashun Boiz” has shared a throwback photo of the group; long before the feud, the beef, the bitterness, the betrayal, and the split.

In the picture, the three guys (Faze, 2Face, and BlackFace) are seen taking different postures for the camera. Faze appeared pretty much like the cool guy that he actually is. His posture made him appear like a feminine guy who could easily be mistaken to be gay. Lol. That’s why he’d rather go into hibernation than put up a fight for any reason.

BlackFace, on the other hand, looked pretty much like one who was definitely going to stray from the group at some point. He kind of took his own pose in a contrary form, somewhat being a little bit separated from 2face and Faze. He didn’t smile or look cool like the rest. He wore a thug countenance and exerted some sort of intimidation to onlookers.

But 2Baba owned the shot!!! With his sun shade glasses, he “chopped knuckle” with whoever cared to "chop back." He took his position between the two guys, making him really appear like the king pin. Actually, he ended up being the king pin among them all. Wow!!! Take a look at the picture and give it your rating.

Never walk Alone

The YOUNG AND GETTING IT (YAGI) boss, Lil Kesh, was involved in a minor car crash at the early hours of 3AM inside Obafemi Awolowo University campus where he was billed to perform in a musical show organized by Wema Bank.

The auto crash left no casualties; all thanks to God. However, a somewhat major argument broke off as a result of the crash due to the damages caused in the process. Actually, Lil Kesh’s boss driver was at fault, as the accident was due to his wild driving in the school campus. His reckless driving was an effort to get past the crowd who craved to see Kesh.

Lil Kesh’s bus collided with a student’s Toyota Camry that was coming from behind. The student demanded payment for damages but Lil Kesh and his crew didn't agree to peaceful negotiations at the spot of the accident. They zoomed off to Cameron hotel outside the campus. But students followed them up immediately. Lol Naija Students things!!!

After much argument and negotiations which lasted till day break, Lil Kesh’s manager in the person of King Wale Applause agreed to pay N70,000 as part of the damages cost. With that done, the whole matter was resolved.

Since birds of a feather flock together, two foreign-based controversial personalities SPEED DARLINGTON and RAY HUSHPUPPI have decided to come together and release a new tune which will no doubt break the internet.

As for SPEED DARLINGTON, he needs no introduction because when he takes the first step, you hear #Bang. When he takes a 2nd, you hear #DaDang. And when he takes the third step, you hear #BangDadaDang!!! But for Hushpuppi, we only know him to be a Gucci activist who made so much money from an unknown source. He isn’t a singer, right

Well, these two guys are working on a track that is set to hit the airwaves soonest. Via Speed Darlington’s gram page, he posted a clip of the new track and added that he would be featuring Ray Hushpuppi. Interesting, if you ask me. After shading numerous Nigerian artists over one thing or the other, Ray is now hitting the studio alongside Speedy.

About the track and the collaboration, Speed Darlington wrote; “New music rhymes with @hushpuppi. Don’t know when am releasing it. But I will play it on August 26th at Moca Lounge on 2210 Frederick Douglass Blvd, NYC when you come.” We can’t wait to hear!!! Can you

A certain Nigerian Slay Queen has posted a hilarious video online claiming she was stalked by Eastern rapper Phyno back in 2go days but refused to give into his advances because he was damn broke!!!

Wallowing in deep regret of her action back then, she thought it wise to reach out to Phyno and apologize to him and possibly give him the chance he was asking for back then. But being that Phyno is quite famous and inaccessible now, all she could do was to go on YouTube to share a video of herself begging the indigenous rapper to forgive and forget.

Her video has trended quite alright. But no one knows if it has found its way to Phyno yet. The lady is presumably hoping that Phyno will see her video and forgive her for rejecting him back then and go ahead and date her like he desperately wanted to back then. Fans are also waiting on Phyno to see the video so they can see what he will do.

Some fans say she doesn’t stand a chance, as Phyno won’t accept her now. Others say Phyno is a bad guy and might simply “chop her and clean mouth.” Guys, what do you think Phyno will do to this Slay Queen when he sees the video?

The Doro Queen, Tiwa Savage has blurted out some seeming braggadocios words that have gotten the internet shaking, as she took to one of her social media platforms to pronounce herself the “Queen Of African Music.”

Actually, Tiwa is not the first one to declare herself thus, as many fans and social media personalities had in times past proclaimed the Doro Queen the “Queen Of African Music.” Some time ago, she was said to be the most famous female singer in Africa and the number one female singer in Nigeria. But all those while, Tiwa said nothing in that regard.

A South African OAP in the person of Bonang Matheba opined that Tiwas Savage is the only female artiste celebrated in Nigeria. So, it’s nothing strange that Tiwa is now saying the words with her own mouth. However, her fans think it’s very unlike her to sing her praises. Maybe she’s getting braggadocios. The Roc Nation Signee took to Snapchat to post;

“Queen Of African Music @tiwasavage. Styled by @kizasta.” Her claim has however sparked a debate amongst some fans as to whether she is deserving of the title she just conferred on herself or not. What do you think

An embittered fan has put Tekno off in a very demeaning way after Tekno reached out to his Twitter followers and begged them to help make his new hit “GO” to trend. The fan savagely told him to beg those he gave cash on Twitter.

The Tripple-MG star who recently bragged of being the writer and producer of the biggest songs in the Nigerian music industry right now, took to his Twitter handle to plead his loving fans to lend him a helping hand by pushing his latest hit “GO” in order for it to trend like his other hits. But his plea summoned a fan’s “savage side,” leading to savagery!!!

Tekno took to Twitter to post thus; “My people please make GO trend for me.” On setting eyes on Tekno’s tweet, the apparently pained fan replied him with the words; “Go and tell the people you gave money.” Lol. Tekno don suffer!!!

Alhaji Tekno ran short of words on reading the fan’s reply, as he could post nothing more afterward. Until now, Tekno has not made mention of that matter again. It’s almost seeming like he’s no longer interested in making his new song to trend. Lol again… Some fans get bad mouth sha…
